Free Link Friday - October 10, 2008
Posted Friday, October 10th, 2008 by Mike Pantoliano, in Free Link Friday
This week’s Free Link Friday comes amidst a rather tumultuous time in our country. The stock market is hurting, we’ve all got a very important decision to make on Nov 4th (register to vote!), and we’re all faced with a good bit of uncertainty. Worry Not! FLF is here! Read on for some soothing underlined blue text.
- The online advertising field grew yet again, as reported by the Los Angeles Times. The article is actually a bit of a downer, stating that while growth is still in the double digits, its down from last year’s number.
- Frank Reed of Marketing Pilgrim reacts to the pessimistic nature of the LA Times article. He’s not buying the gloomy scenario.
- Amit Agarwal spotted something interesting in this Walt Mossberg Wall Street Journal article about online alert notifications: Google Alerts will soon be offering feeds to complement its email alerts.
- SEOmoz introduced their new tool called Linkscape. If you haven’t checked it out yet, it spits out some pretty cool metrics. I haven’t been able to get full use out of it yet, but I expect once I’ve gotten the hang of it, I won’t know how I lived without it.
Sometime next week we’ll be posting a more in depth look at Linkscape, so look out for that. Enjoy your weekends!

Linkscape looks pretty cool… I had actually totally misunderstood the pricing though at first… thought you only got to run it on 4 domains. Not the case.
Anyhow, good stuff.
I think we need to talk about the name “Free Link Friday” though. Its way-misleading. I’m expecting links to my sites for free, instead all I get is blog posts and links to other sites. Can someone help a brotha out with a decent PR link once week please? Perhaps that is what the comment form is for???
